House staff concluded Brennan suppressed Russia evidence

The former chief of staff for John Bolton has written in an opinion piece that House staff members determined ex-CIA chief John Brennan, one of President Trump's harshest critics who has leveled claims of "Treason" against him, "Suppressed" intelligence showing Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 election.

In a commentary at Fox News that members of the staff for the House Intelligence Committee "Found the opposite."

"House Intelligence Committee staff told me that after an exhaustive investigation reviewing intelligence and interviewing intelligence officers, they found that Brennan suppressed high-quality intelligence suggesting that Putin actually wanted the more predictable and malleable Clinton to win the 2016 election," Fleitz said.

"Instead, the Brennan team included low-quality intelligence that failed to meet intelligence community standards to support the political claim that Russian officials wanted Trump to win, House Intelligence Committee staff revealed. They said that CIA analysts also objected to including that flawed, substandard information in the assessment."

The Senate panel report claimed "Investigators found no evidence of political pressure to reach a specific conclusion and determined the assessment by the CIA, FBI, and NSA 'presents a coherent and well-constructed intelligence basis for the case of unprecedented Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.'".

When the Senate panel report was released Brennan took a victory lap, saying, "I'm just very glad that the Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday came out with a report that totally validated the intelligence community's assessment about Russian interference in the election in 2016 to help Donald Trump."

The Senate panel conclusion was not the same as that of a House Intelligence Committee report released in 2018.
